“Is there a conversation that I cannot somehow fit a reference of this podcast into? Alas, the topic has not been found. I especially love their readings of Jane Eyre and P&P which are *chefs kiss* and would highly recommend.”

“How in the world can two people disagree yet still work together?
Listen up here.
The humor helps - but it comes down to respect. Each has a stance based on what they have read and researched but also experienced.
And ground rules. Neither is working to trick, undermine or outdo the other....”Read full review »

“While I’d fight to the non-death that being immortal as a vampire is better than being a brain in a robot body, because I dig the whole embodied thing, I otherwise enjoy the hosts playful yet earnest discussions of romance. I was getting crispy from all the grim news, and finding then digging...”Read full review »

“I am a bit disappointed, I expected a lot more especially as a feminist and expected a more deeper conversation. And I always want to support women led endeavours. But I am torn.
Some episodes are pretty good but I find them being too critical and often disrespectful to authors and the romance...”Read full review »

“This was my first time listening to a podcast about romance novel despite being an avid romance novel reader since high school. I find the hosts to be funny and they remind me of what my friends and I sounded like when we were college, that’s a compliment but also a slight jab tbh. I don’t enjoy...”Read full review »

“I love critical reviews of anything, especially things that I love, and I adore how Morgan and Isabeau talk about the books they loved and did NOT love, and about their lives. It's like listening to the two smartest people I know talk at length about something I love - and it's fun every...”Read full review »

“Finding a good romance podcast is so hard. I am a feminist lady who's mostly critical of romance novels so this one should be made for me, right? I'm just not feeling it, though. They (particularly Morgan) go off on rants and it is not fun to listen to someone bash a book for a full hour...”Read full review »

“I don’t read romance novels, but I love this podcast. Two intelligent, informed, and hilarious feminist women dissect romance novels past and present with a fun but critical eye. I always laugh, I always learn something new, and I’m always left with something to think about.”

“Two highly educated, open-minded, hilarious ladies who don’t take anything too seriously? Hell yeah. This podcast makes me laugh out loud and think deeply about sexual politics. The duality of woman. Love this podcast. Bingeable as hell.”

“Here’s a podcast with two intelligent, funny women tackling a genre on its own terms. It’s incisive, rollicking, and at times a bit free wheeling but I always end up laugh/crying. I tell everyone about it!”

“I don’t think there is another romance podcast that is doing what Morgan and Isabeau are doing. They delve into the intricacies of every novel the review. Every episode sounds like a dissertation and I absolutely love it. I also love that they aren’t just reviewing current romances but old school...”Read full review »

“I do like listening to this podcast at times, my only complaint is that they tend to bash authors and books at times if they don't agree with it. Some of their podcasts I have really enjoyed, but a couple of them have turned me off from really enjoying it as much as I have in the past.”Read full review »

“Just finished the latest episode and there’s so much to like with this podcast. I love how they are both seriously academic and clearly have points but they’re not afraid to get off the intended topic for a moment. The format is great and I like how they mix it up a little bit by adding different...”Read full review »

“They take a very academic and fun approach to breaking down a different romance novel each week. Their thorough analysis and personal insights are a delight to listen to and have added to my own enjoyment of literature. They take on many different genres, and you don’t have to be a fan of the...”Read full review »

“This is a great romance podcast!

“If you're a stranger to romance novels like me, this podcast is not only a great guidebook to understanding and enjoying the genre but it is truly one of the funniest podcasts I have ever listened to. Isabeau and Morgan don't pull any punches when it comes to taking the genre to task for...”Read full review »

“Fun and quirky! These two have great dialogue and you never know where the conversation may go- from personal stories to historical context to questioning the future of romance and sexuality. Fun as a book review or an intro to a genre or a launchpad for sometimes taboo topics or just a laugh....”Read full review »

Their treatment of a forgotten genre is smart & feminist & has my attention, even as...”Read full review »
